19 Growth tools to use at any stage of your funnel [AARRR]

As you might know, I’m not one to write a long intro prior to getting to the juice of the blog post. Not trying to optimize for Long-tail keywords *cough* *cough*Niel Patel.

Getting right into it, below are 19 tools that can help you perform strategies that you’re working on whilst being at different stages of the funnel whether acquisition, activation, retention, referral, revenue.

Content Marketing

You must have heard that term 1,000 times already in the past months, content marketing is a necessary evil.

Now, this site is a god scent for lazy people (me being one), it allows you to translate your audio recording into a written transcript.

Plus it’s very cheap translating your audio for a price of 1 minute per $1.

So go record whatever you wanted to write, but are too lazy to write it down as that would take hours, send that 5–10 mins audio recording to this company and they would translate your audio into written words. For 5–10 dollars. Cheap and simple.

Podcast

Over 35 Million People Listened To Podcasts Weekly In 2016

Overall, podcast listening increased from 11% to 36%, translating into an estimated population of 98 million(Edison Research).

Percentage of Americans who have listened to a podcast in the past month has increased steadily since 2013

Moral of the story podcast are making a comeback, a strong one for that matter and if your looking for a way to put out content in terms of a podcast is a great way as it’s as saturated as video & blogging.

Picking the right hosting service isn’t easy I found two that I used to start recording and hosting my new podcast.

Push notifications or email? Which should you do? F**k it do both, it won’t kill you.

Pushcrew is the leading software for push notification and their free package is pretty good offering you 500 subscribers and unlimited messages, the next package is $25 per month for 2,000 subscribers.

What is push notification you might ask?

A push notification is a message that pops up on a mobile device. App publishers can send them at any time; users don’t have to be in the app or using their devices to receive them.

I have to say this tool isn’t for everybody, the reason why I say that is not to put you down. But the starting price of using this A.I. software is $20,000 per month, Yes 4 zero, that isn’t a typo. I know right?

Albert removes the complexities of modern marketing by performing many of the time-consuming, manual tasks which humans are unable to perform at the speed and scale required for efficient and effective consumer interactions.

Sales Tools

When I was in year 9, I didn’t know the difference between marketing & sales, at 25 I can say I know the difference.

Marketing is the stage in the customer’s journey prior to sales. Never the less in 2017 you must be able to wear different hats in a startup/small company.

To help marketers & sales team to work together, below are the two software I recommend after rigorously using.

This platform is a god sent for small business owners & solo entrepreneurs.

The workers are based in the Philippines, I’ve used to outsource customer support for a few startups, cheap labor very qualified individuals, great English skills.

The way it works is you hire an of a virtual assistant to take off the tasks that you want to be done, whether it’s customer support, phone calls, whatever it may be freeing up your time to work on your core product, doing more buss dev, sales whatever it maybe.

Klear is an influencer marketing like no other, allowing you to search for influencers, plus presenting data to you to analyzing the engagement level the influence has, giving a CRM system to manage all your influencer outreach efforts.
